Amherst Media Presents a New Book by Kathleen Hawkins: Digital Photography for Children's and Family Portraiture
Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) October 13, 2007 -- As quality digital photos become more achievable by parents and amateurs, this guide aims to help professional photographers reclaim the family demographic by outlining how to create highly artistic, technically masterful portraits and truly one-of-a-kind keepsakes. Starting with a look at how working digitally impacts a business and explaining the key benefits of new technologies, this manual shows how to lay the foundation for successful client interactions and quality digital photos.
Both beginning photographers and seasoned pros will learn how to select the best equipment for the job, how programs such as Adobe Photoshop can make a typical shot really shine, how to work with a lab or print in studio, and how to design and produce standout albums for clients. Details on planning the shoot--from choosing clothing that works best to selecting props for children's theme images or family portraits -- are also included. http://301url.com/ctt

Diffusion & Softening of Digital Photography Images
Like many people who've made the switch from film cameras to digital,
I've discovered that the lens tools I once used so effectively on my
cameras to soften, diffuse and vignette my images for quality "finished"
professional results won't do for digital what they did for film.I'm sure it's arguable by some that their diffusers still work fine, and I too
have discovered that some tools still work okay under some
circumstances; my Ziess Softar #1 seemed to offer decent results when
photographing a single subject in the studio but I knew that the black
netting diffuser that I used with my Lindahl Bell-o-shade no longer
worked on the Nikon D70 zoom lens at the wider angles without
showing lines in the image.

If you are taking the plunge into digital photography, you are going to need a camera. Speed is the key consideration in choosing a digital camera.

With candid photography, a three-second shutter lag can mean the difference between taking a blah, ordinary photo, or capturing your child with the perfect grin.
